Shinobi III: Round 3: Body Weapon (Hard)

Описание: In Round 3, Joe Musashi goes through more of the facility and discovers a secret laboratory that specializes in creating bio-weapons.

Act 1 has Joe goes through this lab dealing with living ooze and brains that either fly or hop. There's also loose ooze and electric balls that can hurt you, too.

The boss of this act has you fight several of the hopping brains as they fall from a conveyer belt in their jars.

Beating all of them opens up the entrance to the sewers, where Act 2 takes place. From there, you will constantly be stalked by Neo Zeed's most hideous & powerful bio-weapon, the Hydra.

Stay out of its crosshair, or it will shoot at you with no way to dodge it after it's locked on. The sewers are also pretty gross & fleshy, making it a bit harder to travel through.

At the end, you have to fight the Hydra itself to one of the best boss themes in this game. Its weakspot are its eyes, but each time you hit its eye, you have to jump over its impending hand attack.

It also has mouth blast attack, the same one it targets you with earlier. You can either very timely double jump over it, or crouch low enough to dodge it.

Watch the Hydra as it changes from a reddish-brown to a pale purple as it nears its death. To me, this boss wouldn't look out of place in a Metroid game at all. It's one of my favorites in this game because of that.
